Chapter 232
PS: I said a few words before the chapter, but some book friends couldn't see it at the back.July's new book "Warring States and Bright Moon" is on the shelves. Book lovers who like July should remember to support it.In addition, there are two more books, "The Rider of the Liang Han" and "The Ci of Liangzhou", both of which have different beginnings and styles. If you like this period of history, you can read it and learn about this era from another side.

"Wei Zhou is a rare and virtuous son-in-law in my family. If it weren't for the fact that he has too many affairs to spare, I should go to Nanli Gate to greet him in person."

After seeing Shen Zhezi, the smile on King Xiyang's face was almost overflowing, which inevitably made Shen Zhezi feel uncomfortable, and subconsciously looked around. How good is it to smile so happily during the national funeral?Fortunately, there are not too many people in this official office. Even though King Xiyang is now popular as stewed prawns, there are still few people in his residence in Taicheng.

"How dare you be a great king to praise and present so generously, with all sincerity and sincerity!"

Shen Zhezi responded on the surface, but was vigilant in his heart.He was welcomed into the city by the prince of Xiyang at Zhuqueheng, and he was treated with courtesy all the way. When he entered Taicheng, the princess went back to the garden first, and after he changed into mourning clothes, he was brought here directly, and he hardly had time to interact with others. .

He still remembered how arrogant the Xiyang King was when they met for the first time earlier.Now they are so kind that they are almost obsequious. Could it be that this group of clans really emboldened and vowed to break arms with the ruling sect, so they are so eager to win over themselves?

However, what the King of Xiyang said next made Shen Zhezi realize that dogs can't change eating shit, and he really thinks highly of these Zongwangs.

"Seeing Wei Zhou urgently today is really a question for the well-being and safety of my family. Wei Zhou also said earlier that once I entered the hermit, I will return my salary every month. But I have been in this hermit for more than two months, and I have not seen him until now. Li Hui. I sent people to Jingkou to inquire, but they only got a lot of excuses."

The king of Xiyang looked worried, as if he was in extreme distress, and said with a frown: "However, my family learned more about Yinjue from Jingkou. It is said that this Yinjue is actually owned by the Yu family, and the honorable The government is also involved. I would like to ask Weizhou if the Zhongshu sees that he is evil to me, so he deliberately obstructs it? If he really does not want to conspire, I would like to ask Weizhou to protect me and return my property."

Because of King Xiyang's eager attitude, Shen Zhezi's thinking has already turned to the consideration of state affairs and conspiracy. After hearing the content of his request, Shen Zhezi has always been quick-witted, and at this moment his thoughts were suddenly knotted, and he froze there. .Sure enough, he is not a person from the same plane, so it is really hard to guess what he thinks.

Shen Zhezi had the urge to knock open the head of King Xiyang to see what was inside. Under the current situation, he was still obsessed with the gains and losses of goods!Is this guy out of money to buy a coffin or what?

Probably also realized that his behavior was a little absurd, Xiyang King smiled coyly, and then said with no lack of air: "I believed in Wei Zhou earlier, so when I heard about it from you, I gave up my family's wealth to fight for my life. I invested in the capital, but I didn't expect the current embarrassing situation. Although Zhongshu is powerful, I will not be afraid of him now, but it is not appropriate to be too noisy at the time of the national funeral..."

Shen Zhezi was silent for a moment after hearing the words, and then smiled and said: "I don't know what the king is anxious about, so it's just for this reason. For such a trivial matter, the king only needs to send a letter to inform him, and I dare not be negligent in solving the problem for the king. Yes, The matter of Yinjue is indeed in charge of the Yu family, but the director is Yu Tiao and Yu Youxu instead of Zhongshu. Zhongshu is a person, rigid and does not know how to adapt, if I see it, I will feel terrified in my heart."

"But please rest assured, Your Majesty, the affairs of the Yinjue are the blessings of the old surnames in Jingkou, and Zhongshu will never interfere. As for the postponement of the rebate, it is only because the Yinjue has been restructured recently after my family got involved..."

Shen Zhezi patiently described the matter of Yinjue's restructuring in detail, especially focusing on the huge profits from the sales of Yinjue's grade points.

The King of Xiyang listened carefully, his eyes gleaming, and before Shen Zhezi finished speaking, he couldn't help asking: "Based on what Wei Zhou saw, how much is the monthly profit for a rank like mine? ?”

"The scenery is different in different places, and there are profits and losses in the market. It is really hard to generalize. For example, Wuzhong salt rice sold in Jingkou, the profit can be more than doubled, and in Jiankang, it will be slightly worse."

Shen Zhezi also intends to encourage the King of Xiyang to increase investment, so he narrates in detail: "But Jingkou is less flashy, and many rare treasures from the South are not profitable. Such goods, which go west from Jingkou, cost as much as ten miles away. It can be said that every step of the way, you can pick up gold and silver! There are so many mysteries, there must be mistakes in the words, if the king still hesitates, he can send people to Jingkou to pick up the goods later, and come and go several times, many of which are self-evident."

Hearing this, the King of Xiyang was extremely excited. He clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "What Wei Zhou said completely solved my confusion. It turns out that this is the so-called grade point rebate. Mistakes and omissions are chaotic, which makes me uneasy."

At this time, the sound of drums sounded in Taicheng, and it was the time when the sun was setting and the evening was crying.All the ministers went to the temple day and night to pray and cry until the funeral tomorrow, and then they had to go home and set up road sacrifices, waiting for the ancestral temple to set up sacrifices.

"Cry at night later, Weizhou will go with me, I still have many doubts in my heart, I want to ask Weizhou to clarify my doubts."

Without waiting for Shen Zhezi to refuse, the King of Xiyang dragged him out of the official office, with a red face, as if he was going to a wedding banquet more than a funeral.When Shen Zhezi saw it, he felt very embarrassed. He really couldn't understand how eager this guy was to make money, and what did he do with so much money?In the end, it's not that it's cheaper than others.

The official office of King Xiyang was in the center of Taicheng. When they reached the gate of the palace, many Taichung officials in plain onyx came from behind.

Shen Zhezi looked sideways, and the first thing he saw was Yu Liang, who acted squarely and dignifiedly, with a dignified body and eyes.This man is tall and straight, with a handsome appearance, walking in front of all the ministers, he is indeed eye-catching and majestic.In comparison, Director Wang, who is a little behind, is a little bit inferior in appearance and demeanor. His middle-aged body is slightly fatter, and his amiable appearance makes people feel close to him, but he feels awe. slightly inferior.

Seeing Shen Zhezi and King Xiyang standing there, Yu Liang's eyes froze for a moment, and then he stood expressionlessly on the side of the palace gate, as if they were strangers to each other.On the contrary, it was Director Wang, with a weak and imperceptible kind smile on the corner of his mouth, and slightly nodded to Shen Zhezi.From this difference, we can see that the two have very different personalities and work styles.

Shen Zhezi would not change his position because of other people's good or bad attitudes. He knew what Yu Liang was thinking, but he was really not sure what kind of heart this man had for Director Wang, so he felt jealous of Director Wang. The heart must be a little heavier.

As more and more ministers came, Shen Zhezi saw Yu Yi standing in the crowd.When Yu Yi saw Shen Zhezi, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he gestured to him quietly.Shen Zhezi also nodded in response.

Seeing this scene, Yu Liang's tense expression relaxed slightly, and while the palace gate was slowly opening, he walked forward and said to Shen Zhezi in an elder tone: "You are a backward person, how can you live in front of the princes, and follow me later." Uncle Yu enters the palace together."

Shen Zhezi nodded yes, and turned to see the embarrassing expression on King Xiyang's face, but he didn't dare to speak out in front of Yu Liang. After a moment of contempt, he walked down the road and stood beside Yu Yi.

Surrounded by ministers, it is not easy to talk too much, Yu Yi just stretched out his hand and patted the back of Shen Zhezi's hand, with joy in his eyes and no lack of relief.Looking at his expression, he really regarded Shen Zhezi as an outstanding friend and junior.

Following the sharp singing of the servants, a group of people walked slowly towards the palace. In front of them, Director Yu Liang covered his face and began to cry.Then there were loud cries, and the atmosphere gradually became sad.

Seeing the white silk dancing beside the road, Shen Zhezi's eyes gradually turned rosy due to the atmosphere.He didn't have the awareness of famous teachings like people at that time, but it is a fact that he was highly appreciated by the emperor. Although they were very alienated from each other and did not have the harmonious atmosphere of familiarity and informality, he was also honored by this hero who died young. saddened by the Lord.

The great cause was unfinished, and it was caught off guard.For Shen Zhezi, who also has the world in mind, this helplessness and desolation feel even deeper.He doesn't know whether he can realize his long-cherished wish in the end, or if he will be like the emperor of Daxing, he will be trapped in the current situation and cannot stretch, everyone is the enemy, and no one will hurt...

When walking into the hall, the crying was even louder.Yu Yi beside Shen Zhezi was crying loudly, tears streaming down his face, and he was almost unable to stand still.

In the grand hall, many lights shine like daytime.The body of Emperor Daxing was conveniently placed on the main hall, lying upright in the hall, wearing a uniform representing the majesty of the emperor.Behind the screen next to it, the empress dowager led a group of concubines and children crying there.Shen Zhezi wiped away his tearful eyes, wanting to see how Princess Xingnan was doing, but there were so many figures in front of her, and there was a screen covering her, that she couldn't really see what was going on there.

Under the body of Emperor Daxing, there was only the little emperor alone, looking lonely and dazed.The last time I visited the court, Shen Zhezi had never seen the little emperor because the queen mother reprimanded him too much, and this was the first time I saw him.

According to Princess Xingnan, this rascal and disgusting little guy is wearing an ill-fitting uniform at the moment, looking blankly at the crying ministers below, his slightly plump face is as pale as paper, There were two howls from time to time, the voice was hoarse and weak, and it was obvious that he had been severely tortured.

In the hall, the seats of Yu Liang, Wang Dao and other auxiliary ministers were closest to the little emperor, and Yu Liang was next to the little emperor.Probably because he noticed the little emperor's perfunctory crying attitude, apart from grief, Yu Liang felt a little dissatisfied and guilty for failing to live up to his entrustment, and his face suddenly sank.

The little guy looked at Yu Liang with a blank expression, and when he saw that the uncle who was so fearful in his heart looked a little unkind, his mood suddenly became chaotic, and his palms felt a faint pain, he suddenly opened his mouth and howled loudly. Veins on the upper body were exposed: "Father, Father..."

Shen Zhezi saw that the little emperor's face was flushed from howling, but he didn't dare to keep his voice because he was afraid of Yu Liang. Then he looked at the unconscious emperor Daxing lying on the hall, and felt even more desolate in his heart.He suddenly amplified his crying, then covered his chest with his hands, and suddenly plunged into the seat, lying on the ground with his eyes closed.

Seeing this scene, the little emperor cried for a while, then beat his chest and howled, and immediately lay down straight on his back.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing this scene, Yu Liang's expression changed drastically, his body trembled, and he rushed towards the little emperor, but soon after he saw the little emperor's closed eyelids tremble frequently, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, his hands and feet went limp as if he had collapsed. to body.But when he saw Shen Zhezi who had been brought back to the banquet by Yu Yi again, he was so angry that his teeth clenched and rattled.
